Meet Bronte Galek — Counsellor for Addiction, Grief & Trauma

Bronte has been supporting people through some of life’s most difficult challenges since the early 2000s, when she began her work in the field of addiction. Her approach is deeply compassionate and person-centred — trauma-informed, holistic, and always attuned to the whole person: emotional, physical, cognitive, social, and spiritual.

Bronte creates a warm, safe, non-judgmental space where you are free to explore all parts of yourself at your own pace. Whether you’re facing addiction, grief, trauma, or a major life transition, she is here to walk alongside you with presence, care, and expertise.
